This machine has been a piece of trash from day one. Leslies Pools, which is as, in my opinion, as unethical as can be, told me this was a great $350.00 pool cleaner. Since I purchased it from Leslies Pools, I was only given a one year warranty. Had I purchased it elsewhere I would have gotten a three year warranty. Of course, one week out of warranty it began falling apart. It is two years old and today I just took it out of the pool and am throwing it in the trash where it belongs. It has cost me at least $150.00 in parts. PLEASE think twice before buying this plastic piece of JUNK!!!
